I think it is not possible (no OS can do this), since a driver needs to be loaded before the drive can be accessed by an operating system. (I can say this definitely for LS-120 drives, which are a very simular case.) Also, there seems to be a problem booting from internal LS-120 drives. Normal operating systems (Windows...) can boot from internal drives if the BIOS can handle it. GRUB hangs when I try to boot from an ordinary 3,5" disk inserted into the LS-120. I've tested GRUB 0.4, but not further explored this issue. It may be a problem of GRUB, but perhaps it is a problem of the chipset or the BIOS. I will give a detailed report once I've tested it with the newest version of GRUB. -- Matthias
